Do not stop: The hackers who broke into the insurance company leaked additional documents of insureds in the morning • The information also includes checks, driver's licenses and pay slips • Dr. Harel Manshari, one of the founders of the GSS cyber network: That we did not know yesterday "
The leak from the insurance company Shirbit continues today (Wednesday) - and with it more personal information from insureds:
At 02:15 in the morning, the group of hackers BlackShadow, the unit responsible for the seizure, released more than 400 additional documents - including checks (checks), driver's licenses, Garage claims, insurance policies, pay slips, open claims, appraisers list, pension funds and more.
Dr. Harel Manshari, one of the founders of the GSS 'cyber network and head of the cyber network at the HIT Institute of Technology, notes in a conversation with Israel Today that "according to what was published yesterday, it seems that the burglars managed to get their hands on the tapes or at least some of them. "A credit company to change details is instinctive and understandable. However, I would recommend not to panic, wait and do not take a step that may or may not be necessary."
"We have to wait for an authorized announcement from the company that does damage control, understand what was leaked and to whom. We need to remember that because Shirbit won the state tender, it receives assistance from all state cyber professionals. If I were Shirbit's CEO, I would publish a general message to customers as soon as possible. We know today that we did not know yesterday, and in addition we promise each customer an individual message about what happened, whether it happened, whether he was injured or not. "
On the other hand, another cyber security expert says with "Israel Today" that if I am their customer I definitely suggest going from a discount point, to another message, that my information is in the hands of hackers and behave accordingly. If they have my credit - look at card transactions and be vigilant If they use it. If they have a bank account - ask to be notified of account logins or account transactions. "
Also, the security expert emphasizes that even if only your phone number or email address is with the insurance company one should remain vigilant.
"You should be careful of text messages and emails and not click on links that come from there, the same with email - go from the assumption that there is phishing. In the case of policies, make sure that any change in policy is voiced by you as a customer and not by correspondence."
